I've had an idea for a while to run an electrical current through the root zone of my plants. My hypothesis is small electric currents can speed growth by powering and inducing chemical reactions. Perhaps the current can supply energy for chemical reactions directly to the plant tissue. I would like to know if anyone else has tried this, and if so what setup did they use. I am thinking I will have to adjust the power supply depending on the nutrient solutions strength. I assume hydro will be optimal for such a test. This is going to be a long experiment but I will hopefully start it within the coming months, once I get everything setup. I will have to run tests with an ohm meter to see how much power I will need in different solutions. Ideally I will run a control tent with the exact same environment to see any increase in root mass or overall plant yield. Any input is appreciated.
